“Improvement means change, if you keep practicing in the same way you have been practicing during these past months, you will keep getting the same kind of results for the future months and that will eventually lead you to a “plateau”; that means, a level which seems impossible to surpass. In this series, Dr. Costa challenges you to commit to many of these changes, one at a time.”

This is a series for you that have never played the guitar, beginners and intermediate players. We'll discuss topics such as reading, practicing, memorizing and much more. It doesn't matter how well we think we can play, the importance of a solid foundation is indispensable for any performer. Think it like building a skyscraper, if the base is not good, the building will eventualy collapse. Follow the steps according to the lesson outline and perform the exercises. Your playing is the result of the ACTIONS you take.

These are practice strategies for guitar players of all levels. The most important element in practice is not WHAT to do, but HOW to do it. You can apply these strategies and change them every once in a while. It is important to always keep an open mind and try different types of approaches in order to master the classical or fingerstyle guitar.

Here you will find my own arrangements of several songs. This is the only item on this page that is not part of the library, arrangements are sold separately. I have plans of adding special videos to the library regarding performing these pieces, but the scores can be purchased here.
